A new university building called Texoversum has been crafted in Germany by architecture studios Allmannwappner and Menges Scheffler Architekten. It stands out due to its extraordinary design. The building is wrapped in a web of glass and carbon fibers, a design inspired by textile construction. This unique facade, created in collaboration with engineering practice Jan Knippers Ingenieure, not only contributes to the building's architectural aesthetics but also aligns with its role as a textile research and innovation center.

The facade of Texoversum is made up of triangular panels, each approximately four meters wide and 1.5 meters high. These panels are manufactured using a robotic winding process developed at the University of Stuttgart. Constructed by FibR GmbH, these panels consist of white glass fibers overlaid with black carbon fibers for structural support. The robotic manufacturing process ensures precision, and it is the first time this method has been used in a permanent building, marking a significant milestone in construction innovation.

This building, situated in Reutlingen, is part of the campus expansion for the Reutlingen University of Applied Sciences. Texoversum serves various purposes, including housing offices, workshops, a university store, collaboration areas, and a CNC robot workspace.
